Madame President - How I Survived Middle School Vol 2 - Nancy E. Krulik

Jul 30, 2026

A teenage girl navigates the social pressures and daily humiliations of middle school, from awkward first impressions and cruel teasing to test-time anxiety and party dynamics. Through direct self-questioning and multiple-choice “what kind of girl are you?” prompts, the story contrasts confidence with insecurity and highlights the cost of snobbery and gossip. It then grounds the theme in a concrete school-week encounter, showing how empathy and supportive friends can shift the week’s tone.

FAQs

What do you do when there’s a new boy in school and you think he’s hot?

The options include offering to show him around, checking with your best friends for their opinion, or flashing a big smile and hoping he introduces himself.

How does the book frame test time reactions?

It contrasts cheating or copying the smart kid, feeling very nervous because you usually don’t do well, and being totally confident after studying hard.

What kind of girl does the points system suggest you are?

Higher scores suggest you’re confident and cool, mid scores indicate a shy girl with surprises, and lower scores point to someone who can be nice but often shows a nastier side and should make an effort to say something nice.
